Can anyone shed any light please, I want to replace the Waeco fridge on my Janneau NC11 however I can't see how to remove it, obviously it's fixed in somewhere but i simply can't understand where. There are some small modesty plug on the inside of the fridge but when I pop these off there are no screws or fixing behind them, it only touches the cabinetry on the bottom and one side, I have attached a few photos.
I don't consider myself to be a stupid person but feeling pretty stupid that I can't remove a fridge from a cupboard!

Thanks for the reply but no, the black surround doesn't cam off and those other two screws also don't release it.
A real mystery.

Hello Nigbb.
We have the same fridge and same arrangement on our NC9 and I've pulled it out a few times. On our boat it's a case of unscrewing the two woodscrews in the bottom, front, batten, removing the batten and shuffling the fridge forwards and out. The fridge just freestands in the aperture and the first time out it was a case of "unsticking" it by pulling it around.

Regards,
Nick.

Hi Nick
Thanks for that, I did take those screws out but couldn't get it to move, I guess I need to be a bit more forceful.
I will give that a go, thanks.

may have to disconnect the power from the back of the fridge, hatch above it ?

On my Antares 30 the Waeco fridge feet fit into a recess. So take the side screws out and then you have to push the top of the fridge backwards which will lift the front feet out of the recess and then slide a thin sheet of something under the front feet (i used a 1mm piece of steel sheet) You then pull the top of the fridge towards you which will lift the back feet and then slide the whole thing out
